at the Hollywood Bowl mostly to see the warmup band Fourplay with Larry Carlton okay I know that's already a demerit but I had a box with 4 seats as part of the weekly jazz series subscription and we used to say a bad evening at the Bowl is still an evening at the Bowl

at the Hollywood Bowl mostly to see the warmup band Fourplay with Larry Carlton okay I know that's already a demerit but I had a box with 4 seats as part of the weekly jazz series subscription and we used to say a bad evening at the Bowl is still an evening at the Bowl
Boney James is the headliner, worst show I've ever seen. never seen such an egotistical musician in my life, his bandmates were all the way in the back, when they'd solo they'd step forward fifteen feet and then quickly retreat back to their assigned stations meanwhile BJ would literally pat himself on the shoulders after a solo and egg on the crowd to give him more applause
enough to make one puke up the wonderful food they serve at the Bowl in the box seats
plus I was flying high on a ganja cookie which I always eat before the warmup band starts
after, this rather attractive woman bums a cigarette off me and is obviously flirting with me hard, says I look like Kenny G I groan and say don't say that she's like why I'm like because I can't stand him (but I'd been hearing that for 25 years)
the 3 friends I'm with point to the exit we'll meet you there do your thing I was known to be really good at closing those kind of deals hehe
she says oh how did you like Boney James so I tell her oh that was like the worst show I've ever seen
she says oh I love him but I guess that's because I love the sax now I'm dying high as a kite and the inside between the ears stuff ain't matching the outside which is drop dead gorgeous
I didn't bother telling her I have a few hundred jazz albums headlined by sax greats and probably four times that many when they're "just" sidemen for other jazz greats
I just smile and wish her a lovely night
my friends are stunned when I walk away from her to rejoin them, this is type of woman who walks away from guys trying to impress her not the other way around, leaving her standing there but I just couldn't
I might have to listen to Kenny G or Boney James in the morning or something
when I tell that to my friends they're laughing so hard everyone's staring at us
I say never again, evening at the Bowl blah blah next time it's smooth jazz I'm just giving the tickets away to a clueless neighbor or something (but seriously there are like no really bad days at the Bowl, if nothing else you admire the setting while people watching the food is great and you can bring your own booze and food if you like)
so I got that going for me one get out of jail card man she was so fine it's really three cards
